"An education for the Real World"

I came to the Disruption Institute after working for some years as a Fine Dining Chef. I struggled initial to keep up with the curriculum as I was out of my old study habits and I had no prior experience in computer programming. Disruption Institute Founder, Mike Gelphman was very sympathetic with my plight and he took me aside to figure out how he could improve my experience.

"A great opportunity if you're willing to work for it "

I did the Disruption Institute the first year. Since then I have been able to build a fairly successful career in iOS development. I would say you get out of it what you put in. As with most things, if you don't put in the work you won't get much out of it.

The Disruption Institute was the tipping point in my life between going nowhere and a rocket to success.

There are some moments in your life that you know will have a huge impact, and when I was accepted into the Disruption Institute I knew that was one. I remember vividly telling my wife that this was going to change our live's forever, and boy was I right!

The Disruption Institute gives you what you put in, and then some. I entered the course with a fierce determination and it netted me two apps published in the App Stor...

Received an interview early 2015. It was fairly decent. When I got accepted in Disruption Institute. I received a couple of links to non-related DI sites for pre-work. I was so excited to finally feel like my career was going to change. I was never held accountable for the pre-work that I completed. The program was very fast pace, but I didn't feel like the teachers and instructors were really focused on my learning. Program starts, I find out the creator of the program (Micheal) has no programming experience. Ok, that's fine, I said to myself. There were 3 different teachers for each day of the week. Small projec...
